Good morning, Readers!
I am sitting to write this minutes after my first ever return to Kung Fu. Not in person, of course. With tightening restrictions where I'm living, coupled with a bungled vaccination roll-out means that there won't be in-person training sessions for a long, long time. This was done via Zoom. It was a shorter class 40 minutes, as opposed to the pre-plague one hour, and it was just the one class instead of the usual Kung Fu followed by Kickboxing (so two hours) that it used to be.
Still, I am incredibly grateful for the class happening at all. I'm wildly out of practice, and felt very awkward and uncoordinated, but nevertheless glad to be back at it. I can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit. I'm going to buy a heavy bag and outdoor stand so I can spend some of my evenings punching and kicking something solid. LORDY I miss that so much.
So, I'd like to take this time to thank my elder brothers and my Sifu in Wutan Canada, who have given up their Tuesday and Thursday evenings to teach remotely once again. It's not an easy ask. Remote teaching can be frustrating. I know from experience.
By the way, if you live in Ottawa, and you're hoping to get into martial arts when the area opens up again, go ahead and give our Facebook page a like. We're kinda silent on there right now, but we will be posting there once we have something even approaching a class again.
I'm still dreaming of building us a proper school. It's there. In the back of my mind. At this point, it would take the winning of the lotto in order to achieve this dream, but it's still there. Making me wistful.
I mean, I'll either have to win the lotto or sell a manuscript to Hollywood. Get on that universe. Make it so I can build a school.
Truth be told, my legs are probably going to be very sore tomorrow, when you're all reading this, but it'll be a happy pain.
Tonight, I'll be having a happy sleep. Maybe this time I won't dream about giving my Norwegian friend financial advise, like I'm in any way qualified to do so.
Right, I have a word count to complete. I'm off to write.
Ciao!
